"An affecting - if incredible - tale of cultural naiveté combined with fearsome language learning skill! Fun, Fast, & Free to view. Comhghairdeachas doibh, Atomfilms!" Teaching Indigenous Languages http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jar/TIL.html This web site is an outgrowth of a series of annual conferences started in 1994 at Northern Arizona University focusing on the linguistic, educational, social, and political issues related to the survival of the endangered Indigenous languages of the world. The first two conferences were funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Languages Affairs (as of 2002 Office of English Language Acquisition) to help achieve the goals of the Native American Languages Act of 1990, which makes it government policy to promote, protect, and preserve the Indigenous languages of the United States.
At the heart of this site are 97 full text papers from the 1997 through 2003 Stabilizing Indigenous Languages conferences as well as the 2000 Learn in Beauty and 1989 Native American Language Issues conferences
